battered, respected, stunned and hated
by everybody; is expected to write up
the country at least once week, and

those who borrow the paper to read.
An editor is q cross between early piety
and cranky old age. He never swears

a dash. lie rolls along like stone.

well every night, while the editors
struggle on, always having something
coming. An editor is expected to ride
out all his railroad passes and spend all
his money paying hotel bills, attending
the conventions of his political party;
for which he gets the promise of some
thing immense in the sweet subse-

speaker gets campaign fund for

party to a crowd kept alive by bon
fire and brass band. stop my paper"

his earnest reflection, and often causes

mighty good reading matter about the
country, merely to fill in the place
where the ad. came out. An editor
believes in heaven, but sometimes has
very serious doubts about getting there,
as no "comps" are issued and it takes
money that he has not got to tread the
narrow way that leads to the Celestial

itor is always expecting blessing or a

CHRISTMAS MORNING.

Keen blew the wind across the naked void,
Glimmered the snow fields white.
Aweary with longing, doubt and pain,
watched the silent night
All, mel Joy comes and goes, but grief remains
My days shall comfort bring;
But harki Upon the frosty winter air
The Christmas chimings ring.
And, like q guilty ghost at breath Of dawn,
My coward meanings fly;
Echoes again tn adoring song that woke
Beneath Judeas sky.
And sweeter, clearer, louder, chime on chime,
Ring out, o, happy bells
For every peal with jubilant refrain,
The wondrous tidings tells.
